Jehovah Nissi
the LORD is my Banner (Ex 17:15)
this kind of banner is usually associated with the military and battles / war
as I am under God's banner I am given victories (often miraculous)
~
(expanded)
banner = a standard, a military ensign, a flag - sign - symbol on a pole
it has an insignia attached (declaring who's command we're under)
it is to be focused upon (during battles) and God (through it) gives us hope
Moses built an altar and named it 'Jehovah Nissi'
when God gave the Israelites victory over the enemy
God leads us into battles today for us to fight
(they are orchestrated for His glory and our good)
He gathers us to Himself (as our Commander) and under His Banner
we prepare (and are prepared by God) to march into battles to defeat enemies
and (accurately and persuasively) declare God's Gospel (good news)
He gives the victories
these battles test our hearts to see if we'll stand in the fear of God
JESUS (the prophesied Messiah) is our Banner (ensign)
based on Ex 17:15; Ps 60:4; Is 11:10

Who was with God,
and Who was [and is] God.
(Jn 1:1)
He is the Creator of all things
and He created everything for Himself.

Our Great God
God is Omnipotent (all powerful) and Sovereign (in rule)
(rehearse these)
God, You can do all things.
No purpose of Yours can be thwarted.
Your sovereignty rules over all.
You do whatever You please, any and everywhere!
Just as You intend, so it happens.
Just as You plan, so it stands.
No one can frustrate Your plans.
No one can turn back Your stretched-out hand.
You do according to Your will in the host of heaven and among the inhabitants of earth.
No one can ward off Your hand.
No one can say to You, 'What have You done?'
You work all things after the counsel of Your will.
You, God - are Almighty, and You reign!

Because Jesus is God...
He is unequivocally declared to be God.
(Jn 1:1-3; Titus 2:13)
The Father says to Him, the Son,
"Your throne, O God, is forever and ever."
(Heb 1:8a)
He declared Himself equal with God. (Jn 10:30-33)
(His claim to deity was unmistakable
and the [unbelieving] ones who heard it
understood this and sought to kill Him for it.)
The Bible refers to Him as 'Emmanuel' -
God with us! (Mt 1:23)

act (on our behalf), although our iniquities testify against us
save us (that You might make Your power known)
deal kindly with us
revive us

Jehovah Shalom
The LORD, my peace
(Jdgs 6:24)
Jesus is my peace (Eph 2:14a)
~
(expanded)
Peace ...the tranquil state of a soul assured of its salvation through Christ, fearing nothing from God and consequently content with its earthly lot, whatever it is. This is the direct result of redemption by Christ (Eph 2:15,17) and consists primarily of a state of conscious reconciliation with God (Rm 5:1), although it is often used in a broader sense to denote all the blessings which accompany and flow from reconciliation. (Zodhiates)

Because Jesus is God...
He is the image of the invisible God. (Col 1:15)
He is the radiance of God's glory
the exact representation of God's nature
and He upholds all things
by the word of His power. (Heb 1:3)
He and God the Father jointly receive
the same honor, glory, and praise. (Rev 5:12 / Is 42:8; Jn 5:23)
He has shared glory with the Father
since before the world began. (Jn 17:5)
